The AurMac property dataset describes two metasedimentary rock-hosted gold deposits north of Mayo in central Yukon. It includes the 6158 koz Au Powerline deposit and the 845 koz Au Airstrip deposit, detailing their geological setting, mineralization styles, and host rocks. The dataset was published by the Government of Yukon and last updated in April 2026.
Use Cases
- Identify potential intrusion-related gold mineralization zones based on described sheeted vein and skarn characteristics.
- Compare geological settings of gold deposits based on host rock descriptions of Hyland Group and Keno Hill Quartzite.
- Assess regional gold discovery potential based on comparisons to the Dublin Gulch deposit model.
- Analyze the relationship between magmatic rocks and gold mineralization based on descriptions of foliated mafic horizons and aplite dikes.
Strengths
- Contains specific gold resource estimates: 6158 koz Au for Powerline and 845 koz Au for Airstrip.
- Provides detailed geological context including named rock units, faults, and mineralization styles.
- Published by an authoritative government source (Government of Yukon).
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to open_canada, focusing on a specific Yukon property.
